Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives the perfect oportunity to explore the culture and Lifestyle of a country.I would really love to get to know the personal hotspots and favourite places of my future hosts instead of just vistiting the classy Tourist stuff. I've had the experience of being welcomed so warmly on my Couchsurfing trips that I would never like to miss again.

Interests

My biggest passions are cooking, baking, and obviously travelling. I've been to several European countries and at the moment I'mtrying to explore the United States as much as possible.
I love to cook tradtional meals as well as trying out new cool recipes, my absolutely favourite cook is Jamie Oliver.
Whenever I need to calm down, baking keeps me on the ground.
Whenever I want to relax, I really enjoy Yoga. I love cycling, sport swimming and taking walks.
